You’ll be expected to analyse the data and information given and then produce a written analysis and present your findings. There will then be a time for questions from the assessor so you will also be assessed on your presentation skills.
Atkins Group Exercise
This is designed to test your people skills and how you work within a group. You will be required to provide possible solutions to a given problem regarding scenarios you may find in the organisation’s work place and usually related to the job role you are applying for.

Reviews
Rated 5.0 out of 5 across 3 reviews:
graphs
graphs were hard to read at the beginning of the test and at the last 2-3 questions I figured out that to be able to see the percentages precisely you need to put the mouse on them it would be nice to tell the people about it before the test
Time
It was good but time constraint plays major role.
